Wanted To Buy / Re: Want to buy a kayak trailer« on: March 16, 2024, 10:24:24 PM »I don't have one to sell, but I'm a fan of my Trailex. I store my AI on my trailer with DIY bunks made from 2" PVC electrical conduit. You could also use the official Hobie bunks, if you are worried about warranty issues, but I think the PVC probably provides better support. I pull my trailer with a Subaru Crosstrek, and it's almost like it's not there, and I'm sure 20 lbs more for the Malone won't make any difference in that respect. I can also use the trailer like a dolly, as I can easily move it around by hand. 33

I don't have one to sell, but I'm a fan of my Trailex. But, I think the ultimate would be the (very expensive) Yakima Rack and Roll. Speaking of which, this one on Craigslist looks too good to be true--and it probably is, as I've tried contacting the poster several times, and have not gotten any response.:

Wanted To Buy / Re: Looking for Hobie Mirage right side pedal/crank assembly« on: March 14, 2024, 08:32:21 PM »They are out of stock at west coast sailing, eBay, and every dealer I have called coast-to-coast. The “ships in 3-6 weeks” on west coast sailings site is just a way of saying “we can get one when Hobie has them again.” CCK told me per the Hobie shortage list updated 2/27 they were “researching “ Since I make my own solid crank arms, and I have multiple mirage drives, I've got a few spare stock crank arms. Here's a right-side one. You could borrow it--no hurry to get it back, as I'll never use it again. 37
Wanted To Buy / Re: Looking for Hobie Mirage right side pedal/crank assembly« on: March 14, 2024, 05:32:22 PM »Some have made custom crank arms out of aluminum billet stock -- I think Nowhereman did this. It might be quicker than waiting on the parts to come into stock. Good luck! Yes! I've made a lot of them of out of solid 3/4" square 6061 aluminum--a strange hobby of mine.... They've proven indestructible for me. The only issue is that you'd probably need to use bicycle pedals, as there is not an easy way to directly attach the Hobie pedals. 38

For Sale / Re: FS Eddyline Caribbean 14 $800« on: March 07, 2024, 06:02:50 PM »
I think that is the one that Sonny bought from me. It’s a great boat, and that’s a good price—if I had space to store it, I’d buy it!

Hobie Kayaks / Re: Well. My 2022 Outback Hull cracked.« on: March 02, 2024, 07:38:41 PM »Makes me glad I didn’t spring for a Hobie yet. They’re a great company but this shows even they can have their problems I'm curious whether Hobie is having more, less, or the same number of problems as they've had in the past. The Hobie forum used to be extremely active, with people from Hobie constantly monitoring and interacting with customers. Then it was easy to see when any problems popped up. Unfortunately, the new ownership has de-emphasized the Hobie forum--it's pretty much dead now, and I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually pull the plug on it. 45
AOTY / Re: Electric motors are now allowed for AOTY.« on: March 02, 2024, 07:28:12 PM »By proxy would Sail Power also be allowed in the standard entry? When submitting an entry, it still asks whether it was caught on a "sail kayak", so it looks like the sail division remains separate. IMHO, it would make more sense to have a combined sail/motor division, separate from a strictly human-powered yaks division. |
